Vancouver World SX: Nathan Ramsey Wins Lites Class for the Second Straight Year

The last of the non-points-paying Canadian Supercross rounds, saw Red Bull KTM’s Nathan Ramsey dominate the Lites Main Event for the second year in a row.

“My father-in-law, he’s Canadian,” Ramsey said after the race. “He
lives in the States now, but we always talk about it. Every time I go
to a race, he’s like, ‘I give you my power,’ but up in Canada, it’s a
little bit more special to him.”

Nathan Ramsey grabbed the holeshot on his powerful Red Bull KTM, and
from there, he led all 15 laps, never to be headed, taking a runaway
win in front of last week’s winner Davi Millsaps.

“It’s never easy,” Ramsey said after the race. “Every year, I’ve got to
keep on pushing and making changes. I’ve got a lot of good people
behind me and Jeff Spencer has a lot of wisdom to push me to the next level. And I hired a riding coach this year – Buddy Antunez
– and we’ve been working on a whole lot of things. I figure of these
guys [I’m racing with] are young and they’ve got a few new tricks, then
I’ve got to do that myself. I’m working on that along with everybody at
Red Bull KTM. The bike’s just getting better and better. You’ve got
such a good push behind you – such a good team – that it’s hard to let
them down. Good surroundings.”
